Columbia SC for cash flow. Anyone who is invested there?

[Jessica Tsao]

Hi BP fam!  I am looking at Columbia SC 29229 for sfh, I heard is still a great location aka North Eastside.  Seems like the property taxes are high but I think it can still cash flow.  Anyone local or investors with any feedback or experience willing to share? Would you still say it's a good place now to invest?  How's the job market? How's the rental market? Thanks in advance.

I am a local investor and licenced property manager near Columbia. All my are investments are in Lexington County. South Carolina offers investors the opputunity to hit some strong ROI and a defintly more landlord friendly than most states. These factors make South Carolina very appealing to out of state investors. The property taxes are somewhat high for investment properties but should not desuade investment. 29229 (NE Columbia) is growing and near Ft. Jackson, the largest Army basic training location. Columbia has some definite hit or miss pockets around town, so you really need to know what your buying. I strongly urge you to research the specfic area you intend to purchase. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
